James Franco’s Sunset Strip Home For Sale
8222 Marmont Lane
Los Angeles, CA 90069
3 BR, 3.5 BA
$3,695,000
Actor James Franco is selling his Sunset Strip home located just a hop, skip and a jump from local celeb-hangout the Chateau Marmont. I’ve enjoyed Franco in the few movies I’ve seen him in (Pineapple Express, Milk) and I enjoy is his taste in architecture and design as well (except for those bearskin rugs…hmmm…)
The house has a nice open floor plan, a Chef’s Kitchen with a La Cornue stove, and city views. Much of the design is classic Hollywood which I think is fitting for a house located on Marmont Lane.
Franco purchased the house in 2006 for $2,325,000 so he’s hoping that his upgrades pay off nicely. Overall I think it’s a pretty classy property that will make some lucky owner happy, but it might be a little overpriced. What do you think?
